I'm sittin' on the couch with you :) I haven't been inside a church building in over a year, but my faith has grown deeper, God more intimate, our relationship transformed. Changing this "food stuff" requires changes in mind, body, and spirit. For some, its about a spiritual journey, for others it's not. Both can be successful in finding freedom from a hurtful relationship with food. I like that. :) Jaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948267285252157233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-47753726751961140732014-07-14T09:00:47.340-05:002014-07-14T09:00:47.340-05:00I agree with your Mom--Dr. Travis is mighty FINE! ...I agree with your Mom--Dr. Travis is mighty FINE! I can't imagine someone questioning you about religious beliefs and practices. Isn't anything private anymore? You are very open about some things people who aren't struggling/recovering food addicts might find too personal, but it helps those of us who can relate, to know we aren't alone. But religion? Perhaps she could look up other bloggers, I'm sure there's some out there who address religion and how it relates to food addiction/dieting/losing weight. You have chosen not to address that area of your life here, and I respect that decision.dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-63007534818267649232014-07-14T07:38:17.745-05:002014-07-14T07:38:17.745-05:00It's such a delicate balance trying to figure ...It's such a delicate balance trying to figure out what and how much to share, isn't it? I mean, unless you are specifically trying to write a Buddhist or Christian or Atheist Weight Loss blog you probably wouldn't mention specifics about your beliefs. I think at times we've all probably shared a bit too much and wished we hadn't and learned our lesson so don't feel bad about the past.

The 10 United Methodists Ministers that I know were much more questioning that I gave up grains for my health and long term weight maintenance than the fact that I gave up going to church. <br /><br />Hilarious. Glad you are setting good boundaries. So important.

It comes through here and there... it's who you are, how can it not? But I know what you mean about the type of blog writing you do... it's meant to be sort of all-inclusive, everybody's welcome type approach. Meant to help anyone who is interested.<br /><br />When I first started my blog (yikes, about 5 years ago!) I was deeply influenced by a wonderful writer named Ralph Marston. Sound familiar? ;-)<br /><br />He is a Christian, but doesn't make his daily encouraging articles "religious", but rather inspiring and motivating, uplifting and instructional for everyone. All are welcome. And that's the feeling I get from your blog, too. You write with open arms to all. I like that. :-)<br /><br />Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-83681164102440183952014-07-14T00:31:07.892-05:002014-07-14T00:31:07.892-05:00You're doing a wonderful job in all categories...You're doing a wonderful job in all categories Sean - I am proud of you!
